We went via an Amish store that sold quilts. Wandering by way of the store, I found a quilt that I thought was incredibly fascinating. The salesperson saw me eyeing it and told me that it was an antique quilt from the 1850's. My jaw dropped. She said that I could uncover an antique quilt for almost any year that I wanted in her store. I was fascinated. I had no idea that a quilt could last that several years.
